Speaking of which, iOS 10.2 is expected imminently, with a release likely in the next two weeks. This will bring Unicode 9 emojis such as the face palm and shrug, as well as emoji professions from Emoji 4.0.

"English has a writing system from left to right. We also tend to conceptualise time as moving from left to right. Even if we don’t say it in words, we’ll gesture events in that order, and even design logos to that effect"...so why not emojis?

🤗 Lastly

Thanks as always for staying subscribed to this email. I'm hoping you find it a helpful way to see some emoji news you may have otherwise missed during the month. And to everyone that came to say hello after my talk at EmojiCon, it was a pleasure to meet you all and thank you for your kind words 🙇
